New fishes (There are a few types)On Sunday we had breakfast close to TTID market. After breakfast we took Reese along to the market. While I went about buying meat and vegetables, daddy took Reese to the fish shop. Daddy bought 12 fishes (few types) for RM12. It's cheap as compared to shopping malls' pet shops. It's half the price actually!
Anyway...when we got home, daddy put the fishes into the tank, we went on to do other things and about an hour or so, daddy and Reese sat down to watch the fishes and suddenly daddy exclaimed.... "Girl, the fish gave birth!" (In hokkien). I was like huh? As I look closer, there were many tiny baby fishes trying to avoid being bullied by the bigger fish!! So immediately we decided to separate them. We were baffled as to how they came about... didn't notice them earlier and the fish can't just lay eggs and the baby immediately hatch right? So I guess it came with the rest of the new fish... Guess how many we manage to scoop out? 21 of them!!! Wow... pay RM12 and we got ourselves 12+21 fishes! (One baby died later in the day and one of the adult fish died the next day) Not bad huh?so now we have two tanks (later in the day we bought a cheap plastic tank and a filter pump) .... doubt we can keep all of them in the big tank...but for now... will let it be.... :)

reanaclaire,
Don't think can sell... afterall, the adult fish we bought was only RM1 for one...hehehe...
Merryn,

You think we are lucky ah? We actually have to shell out more money to get additional tank and pump..that came up to RM20 plus... so we actually paid for the fish...we have 20 baby fish... hehe
wah...very 'tai' !!! Reese must have been very excited!
These fishes are very fun to look at... u got the platy fishes rite?
I am sure Reese likes to sit in front of the aquarium just looking at them...
Hubby and I used to keep fishes when we first got married. But they died pretty easily.. and i got quite emotional...so we stopped!
Waah! Your fish encounter is So exciting one. Hahahaa...
Good to know you guys are having fun. We lost all our fishes the other day coz the gas and filter plug came lose. By the time we got home 5 hours later all the fishes had died except the "bandaraya" fish.
Ann,
Yup...very 'tai'.. you want some ah? We will give some away when they are older!
Leona,
Reese loves his fishes, he will spend sometime with his daddy watching the fish especially feeding time.
